Date The Motives of Fateful Meeting in Joyce Carol Oates’s short story “In the Region of Ice” In her short story “In the Region of Ice”, Joyce Carol Oates portrays the complexity of human characters, thus revealing the most intimate and hidden movements of human soul. In the given story, Oates intentionally makes the opposites collide, interact, and coexist, despite all seeming differences and conventions. And the main protagonists – Sister Irene and Allen Weinstein – serve as these opposites. Thus, the author resorts to sustained antithesis to present the readers the story fabric woven from the main heroes’ contradictory feelings, infighting, and soul-searching. First, Professor Irene appears before the reader as a classic example of virtuousness, single-mindedness, and prudence. Nonetheless, the writer reveals the woman’s inner contradictions, which confuse and even scare the teacher. This frank dissonance between Irene’s ostentatious calmness and internal struggle is under Joyce Carol Oates’s meticulous scrutiny. To reinforce and even make “conflicts in her minds” (187) almost tangible, the author introduces restless student Allen Weinstein into the story. Exactly this hero makes Professor think, hesitate, and even “reconcile the opposite views” (187) by means of his frivolous and straightforward comments and questions asked in the classroom. Nonetheless, despite rudeness of Allen’s questions, his familiarity and spontaneity, this regular woman has interest in him. This strange feeling, nonetheless, can be easily explained. Sister Irene manages to unmask the young man, who hides behind his aplomb and impudence. Thus, the nun sees a real face “of a terrified prisoner behind the confident voice” (190). Sister Irene admits that she has mixed feelings about the young student. Sometimes, she catches herself thinking that does not like the persistent student, whose intrusion and obsession terrify...

REGION XI
DAVAO REGION
Located in southeastern Mindanao, Davao offers diverse travel experiences set in lush natural landscapes — from fine white sand beaches to highlands with refreshing cool climates.
The region consists of the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Davao Oriental. Davao City is the regional center, and its Francisco Bangoy International Airport is the third busiest airport in the country. The region is strategically situated outside the typhoon belt, making for a uniform distribution of rainfall throughout the year.
Davao is a melting pot of various cultures, which include minority indigenous groups such as the Bagobo, Mandaya, Mansaka, and Maguindanaos. The locals, who refer to themselves as Dabawenyos and Dabawenyas, are a friendly bunch who shares a fierce pride in their home and heritage.
The area, particularly Davao City, also has a Japanese influence as it was the residence of many Japanese immigrants prior to World War II. Among the local languages spoken are Dinabaw, Visayan, as well as Filipino and English.
This unique mix of diversity, both in landscape and in culture, makes the Davao region a must-visit.

...﻿1. I believe there are 3 theories that relate to product liability in which Kolchek could sue to recover for Litishas’s injuries.
They are;
+ Product liability based on misrepresentation because the misrepresentation is of a material fact, and the seller intended to induce the buyer’s reliance on the misrepresentation.
+Product Liability based on negligence because there clearly a failure to exercise the degree of care that a reasonable, prudent person would have exercised under the circumstance.
+No assumption of risk because the plaintiff knew and appreciated the risk created by the product defect and the plaintiff voluntarily assumed the risk, even though it was unreasonable to do so.
-Kolchek will be UNABLE to sue Porter but is able to sue Great Lakes.
2. When product liability is based on a negligence act then then there is no privity of the contract required.
Also the plaintiff and the defendant need to be directly involved in a contractual agreement with one another
Lastly, in this case the manufacturer is liable for failure to exercise care to any person who sustains an injury caused by a defective product.
3. 1. The product must be in a defective condition when the defendant sells it.
2. The defendant must engage in selling or distributing the product.
3. The product must be unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer because of its defective condition.
4. The plaintiff must incur physical harm to self or property by the use...

Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
